Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work from miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every colour, gender, age and nationality, they have at least three things in common: they love miniatures, enjoy a supportive community and they have all taken the Challenge.
This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Challenges.
Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

From Paul O'G: AHPC VII Offerings from my Man Cave

Another blast of a challenge with some great entries from players young and old, and some wonderful diversity in scale, periods and techniques. I always learn a lot from others' work here, thank you.

Its seemed like more at the time, but I'm very happy with the horde!

For myself, edition VII was a personal best on several fronts: highest AHPC score (and the first time I've broken the "Dux line" of 1k), best hobby productivity I've ever achieved and as a result, I humbly submit, the best quality painting I've yet produced. It feels that way anyway :-)

The smile of the self satisfied gamer!

Thanks to one and all for the comments and encouragement, the lads at our Gaming club who helped get newly painted troops onto the table each week, my co-minion Dux (that was a lot of fun, thanks mate) and of course Curt. Another triumphant challenge event!

I better replenish the lead pile ASAP!

Like many of you and I am having major withdrawals and trying to push through it by planning ahead for AHPV VIII. Next year I am returning to sea so I am planning a limited scope but themed and maximised for quality.
